A US warship shot down “multiple one-way attack drones” launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen on Thursday morning local time, according to the United States Central Command.
In a statement, CENTCOM said the USS Thomas Hudner shot the drones down while it was on patrol in the Red Sea, adding that there had been no damage to the ship or injuries sustained by the crew.
Tensions have increased in the Red Sea region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, with Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claiming to have fired ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel.
On Sunday, the Galaxy Leader cargo ship was hijacked by the Houthis in the Red Sea with about 25 crew members on board.
We can do both without any issue
It’s called fulfilling our role as allies and good stewards in relation to intl conflict. In addition to this we have been playing peace keeper and the US, Blinken and Biden specifically, are to thank for this ceasefire
But go off I guess, we should just simply stand by and let Israel drag itself into a full on apartheid right? We shouldn’t be trying to chill them out and hold off a worse conflict right??
Get a grip, if you’re mad about how the US doesn’t take care of their citizens, vote and encourage others to as well, but don’t cry when the US steps in to avoid more death. You act like we just strutted in cuz we wanted to and not because of the implications of our allies involvement and also our duty given the position of power the US resides in (whether you like it or not)
We can and must do both

Control of global politics goes hand-in-hand with being a trustworthy ally that keeps its word. Other countries aren’t likely to align with you if you can’t show that you can be trusted.
Whatever you’re smoking, stop right now. Lmao
